The political world was rocked by yet another scandal today as footage was leaked to the New York Times by unnamed sources from within the White House of President Bush eating what appears to be an adorable kitten. When asked about the pictures White Press Press Secretary Tony Snow cited executive privilege and national security issues prevented him from commenting at this time. He proceeded to say, "Look over there! Gay illegal immigrants from Iran are getting married!" The press briefing ended abruptly with Snow disappearing behind a sudden cloud of black sulphuric smoke.

This is just the latest scandal to hit the Republicans recently. Rep. Mark Foley resigned after instant messaging to a former page that he would "love to slip them [underwear] off of you and grab the one eyed snake."

Then of course Special Assistant to the President Susan Ralston resigned yesterday, joining Rep. Ney and Rep. Delay, as casualties of the Abramhoff scandal that is likely to cost several other Republicans their jobs during the elections such as Sen. Conrad Burns of Montana.

Then of course Bob Woodward's new book State of Denial revealed repeated and contemptible failures of the White House in planning for, and adapting to the war in Iraq. This only increased the bad publicity from a leaked report from intelligent officials proclaiming the War in Iraq has made America less safe.

Then of course former Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham, who is in jail for accepting millions of dollars worth of bribes, wrote a letter to the reporter who uncovered the scandal lashing out on what he called "constant cruelty."

But all the scandals of the last week pale in comparison to President Bush eating a cute, lovable kitten named Nixon. Then of course we all make mistakes and who knows when Cheney will shoot someone else in the face.
